Take Taobao to fight against Japan

I have to say that air supremacy in modern warfare is really important.

Wang Fangzhou nodded and agreed: "Yes, the devils are getting stronger and stronger now. Compared with the previous two times, no matter the total force, or the density and strength of technical equipment are not the same!

In this battle, the military pressure we are facing is unprecedented! "

"What the teacher said is very true, our enemies are indeed getting stronger!"

Yang Zihui nodded, and then said: "But then again, aren't we getting stronger too!

Our aircraft, tanks and cannons are also increasing, and various ammunition supplies are no longer in short supply.

And there are 30 elite Chinese Expeditionary Forces coming soon, we still have a good chance of winning this battle! "

"Okay, the top priority is how to deal with the current war!"

Seeing that the two people's buildings were getting more and more crooked, Xue Boling waved his hands and then ordered the communication staff in a deep voice: "Order the 140th Division to immediately reinforce Xinkaishi, and we must take Xinkaishi back.

In addition, generate electricity for the 37th Army and the 99th Army, so that they must stick to it until tomorrow night before they can let the devils in! "

According to time calculations, the 30 Huaxia Expeditionary Force should arrive in Zhuzhou and Xiangtan within today. This is not only enough to contain the Japanese Kwantung Army that is outflanking Changsha, but it can even form a super-large-scale anti-encirclement trend.

In this case, it is natural to have the conditions to officially start the Heavenly Furnace Warfare!

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer hurriedly took orders.

However, as soon as the front foot left, another communication staff officer rushed in excitedly. Before he arrived, the voice came first: "Mr. Xue, great victory in Yichang! Great victory in Yichang!"

Immediately afterwards, the communications staff officer took the telegram and ran all the way to Xue Boling.

"Beautiful! Now the pressure on our left wing is greatly reduced!"

After reading the telegram, Xue Boling's eyes lit up immediately. The news was really exciting, that is, he was sincerely happy that the sixth war zone had achieved such brilliant results, and at the same time felt relaxed and happy that there was less danger.

"Not bad! This time, Anan Weiji, this old devil really wants to lose his wife and lose his army! Haha"

"Excellent! This time, we really have to eat a big fat man!"

"It's been four full years, and it's time for our national army to have a hearty victory on the frontal battlefield!"

Then, Yang Zihui, Wang Fangzhou and others also laughed from ear to ear, and became more optimistic about the prospect of the Changsha battle.

Zhuzhou Railway Station.

Under the escort of the guards, Li Delin got off the train.

After a long period of tossing and turning, Li Delin finally led the 22nd Group and the 31st Army to Zhuzhou County, the front line where Changsha will be located.

At this time, the entire 12 divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army had already broken out of Jiangxi, and successively conquered important railway towns such as Fengling and Banshan, as well as large areas such as Youxian and Chaling in eastern Hunan. Currently, there are 5 divisions in the Kwantung Army The main force of the formed army of more than [-] is approaching Zhuzhou.

The devils had launched a large-scale air raid on Zhuzhou a few days ago, and even before they arrived in Hengyang, Hengyang had just encountered a large-scale air raid.

When he got off the train, Li Delin could still smell the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and burning, and he could still see the mess after the bombing, scattered flowers, banners and slogans, and even puddles of blood.

"Commander Li, Commander Sun, Commander Wei, Commander Chen, and fellow national army brothers, I, Wang Weineng, magistrate of Hengyang County, welcome the Expeditionary Army to return to the country to fight the war. You have come at just the right time!

With you here, Ding Ruirong in Zhuzhou will have no worries! "

Hengyang county magistrate and security commander Wang Celin led a group of people to greet them quickly, and shook hands with Li Delin, Sun Decao, Wei Shidong, Chen Shunong and others excitedly.

Originally, Wang Celin organized a lot of military and political personnel and civilians to welcome the returning expeditionary force, but unfortunately, just half an hour ago, the devils dispatched a bomber fleet to bomb Zhuzhou.

As an important transportation hub, the railway station has naturally received "key care" again, which immediately caused heavy casualties to the welcome crowd, and there is no way to give condolences and welcome to these expedition soldiers as originally planned.

After a pause, Wang Celin said apologetically with red eyes, "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. Originally, the people of Hunan wanted to express condolences to the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War who came back from the expedition, but the devil plane just came..."

"Magistrate Wang, where are these words!"

Li Delin shook his head repeatedly, held Wang Celin's hand tightly, and said in a sad tone: "County Wang, the people of Hengyang have suffered these days! Don't worry, with us here, Zhuzhou will be as stable as a rock!"

"Ok!"

Wang Celin nodded excitedly, and said with red eyes: "Old revenge has not been avenged and new hatred has been added. These bastards will definitely die badly. You must make these bastards repay the blood debt double!"

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhuzhou had developed into an important transportation and industrial center in the south of the Yangtze River, where the Guangdong-Han, Zhejiang-Jiangxi, and Hunan-Guizhou railways intersected, and the Tianxin Locomotive Repair Factory had already been built.

At this time, Zhuzhou had become an important railway hub, and the national government dreamed of building an "Oriental Ruhr Area" here.

Therefore, Zhuzhou has naturally become an important strategic target coveted by the Japanese army.

At the beginning of the war of aggression against China, in order to disrupt China's anti-Japanese deployment, from October 1937, 10 to September 8, 1940, the Japanese army attacked Zhuzhou Town, Nanbei Station, Tianxin Locomotive Repair Factory, Yaojiaba, Lukou and other places. Dozens of rounds of crazy bombing were launched.

But the real ground battle took place in the second Changsha battle in September 1941.

In order to relieve the growing threat of the Ninth War Zone to the Wuhan area and destroy the national government's will to resist the war, Japan assembled 12 troops and launched an offensive against the Chinese army.

The first battle of the Zhuzhou Anti-Japanese War took place during the second Changsha battle, and it was an important part of it.

During this period, no less than a thousand Japanese aircraft bombed and strafed Zhuzhou Township.

The previous air strikes by enemy planes have caused quite heavy losses, killing and injuring countless people.Before the Anti-Japanese War, due to the development of railway and industry, Zhuzhou once became an important town with a population of nearly 10.

Much of the township was in ruins following the bombing and air strikes.The industry and commerce in the township are depressed, and most of the residents have moved to live in the countryside, with a population of only a few thousand.

Li Delin naturally knew what Wang Celin was talking about, and nodded his head heavily: "Don't worry, we will pay back double the blood debt owed to the people of Zhuzhou and Hunan by the devils soon!"

Li Delin said this sentence not only to Wang Celin and others, but also to himself.

Chapter 1412

After a simple welcome and condolence ceremony, Li Delin and others drove directly to various defense areas in Zhuzhou County to conduct on-the-spot investigations.

Before Li Delin's arrival, the main forces of the 31st Army and the 22nd Army had arrived in Zhuzhou a day earlier for deployment.

But with the enemy at hand, Li Delin felt very uneasy, and needed to visit Zhuzhou County and various defense lines in person to be at ease.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it. At this time, Li Delin realized that the actual situation in Zhuzhou was much worse than he imagined.

In Li Delin's impression, Zhuzhou is a thousand-year-old city, not only has a long history of 1800 years, but also has always been known for its prosperity and strength.

But now it's not the same thing at all.

Zhuzhou was called Jianning in ancient times. There are many cities in history that never stood up again after the old city was abandoned. After the ancient Jianning was abandoned, Zhuzhou can still stand for thousands of years.

In the vicissitudes of life, the main reason why Zhuzhou is still standing is transportation and trade.

In modern history, it was a city that rose due to industry. In 1936, the government of the Republic of China successively deployed enterprises such as weapon manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and train maintenance to Zhuzhou, and planned to temporarily move the capital to Zhuzhou.

At that time, the government of the Republic of China not only established the country's largest national defense industrial base "No.11 Arsenal" in Zhuzhou, but also opened several large national industrial enterprises near the Zhuzhou Guangdong-Han Railway, and introduced German technology arsenals and automobile factories. , locomotive repair factories that introduced British and American technology and put into production one after another.

The dream of building Zhuzhou as an important industrial base in China mentioned in Sun Yat-sen's "Strategy for the Founding of the Nation" has gradually come true. This was once the "Huaxia Ruhr Area" of the government of the Republic of China.

During the Yuan, Ming, Qing, and the Republic of China, Zhuzhou experienced several wars, but the trade between the two sides of Jianning Port was inexhaustible, and the spring breeze was blowing again.

In particular, the opening of Zhuzhou-Pingzhou Railway, the first railway in Hunan Province, brought Zhuzhou's trade to the road of prosperity.

At present, the main attack route of the Japanese Kwantung Army is also starting from Yichun, Jiangxi, and launching an attack along the Pingxiang-Zhuzhou-Changsha railway line, trying to implement a strategic encirclement of the ninth theater centered on Changsha.

The so-called "a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind", the Japanese army with very sophisticated intelligence work will naturally not let Zhuzhou go, and the focus of the invasion will be on Zhuzhou from the moment it begins to invade China in an all-round way.

Before the Japanese Army entered Hunan, the Air Force carried out intensive bombing of Zhuzhou arsenal and railways as early as October 1937.Several major factories in Zhuzhou moved to other places one after another.

The long-term frenzied bombing turned the originally important town with a population of nearly 10 into a declining county town full of desolation and few people.

Zhuzhou, which has been devastated by the war, has completely lost the prosperity before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. There are shocking dilapidated eaves and broken walls, and desolate ruins everywhere.

The once-prosperous county is already empty, and the rest of the city are basically old people, women and children, and disabled people can be seen everywhere because of the devil's bombing. This scene is even worse than that of an ordinary poor county in Guangxi. .

Looking at everything in front of him, Li Delin felt an indescribable grief and murderous intent, and he became more and more determined to make the Japanese invaders pay a heavy price this time.

After half a day of careful field investigation, Li Delin soon had a complete defense deployment plan in his mind.

After returning to Zhuzhou County Security Headquarters, Li Delin made a series of decisions, focusing his defense on Huangnitang, Dongliuao, Hetangpu, Tiantai Mountain, Leiguling, Dajin Temple, Dongjiacheng and other areas that are easy to defend and difficult to defend. attack zone.

In these areas, the national army has long built many permanent fortifications, which can play a huge role.

Therefore, Li Delin decided to focus on defense in the first stage, defending Zhuzhou County, interrupting the offensive momentum of the Japanese Kwantung Army along the railway line to Changsha, and using a favorable fortification system to consume the active forces of the Japanese army.

Now the 22nd Army and the 31st Army led by him have a total of 13 troops, and all of them have arrived in Zhuzhou.

This 13 army is equipped with a large number of technical equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled rocket launchers, anti-tank rocket launchers, etc. It can be said that it has long been reborn.

Even though the five divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army approaching Zhuzhou not only have strong troops but also a large number of combat aircraft to cooperate with them, Li Delin is still full of confidence.

What he has to do now is to continue to strengthen the fortifications, and then quietly wait for the devils to come.

At this time, the 5st Army, composed of Du Yuming's 71th Army and Zhong Bin's 31st Army, had arrived at Yijiawan for defense.

Next, they will decide according to the trend of the war whether to go south to cooperate with Li Delin to attack the Kwantung Army, or go north to Changsha to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Japanese 11th Army that entered Changsha.

As for the 6st Group Army composed of Gan Lichu's 66th Army and Zhang Zhen's 31th Army, it is currently staying in the towns along the railway in Hengyang and Hengshan, and is responsible for the safety of Hengyang.

The main reason is that after the Japanese Kwantung Army left Jiangxi, three divisions went south to attack. At present, they have successively conquered towns such as Liling County, You County, and Chaling County, posing a very serious military threat to the important military town of Hengyang. .

Hengyang was one of the three central cities of China during the war, alongside Chongqing and Kunming, and its tax revenue ranked second in the country. It was called 'Little Nanjing' and 'Little Shanghai'.

Moreover, Hengyang is located at the intersection of the Guangdong-Han Railway and the Hunan-Guizhou-Guizhou Railway, and is the gateway and military throat of Southwest China.

Today, Hengyang Airport has more than [-] combat aircraft stationed there, making it the most important base and export point for air forces in Hunan.

The importance of Hengyang's strategic position has become even more important, reaching an unprecedented height, so at this time there must be an elite army to ensure its safety.

The 6th Army and the 66th Army, which are the lowest in combat effectiveness in the expeditionary army sequence, but considered top-notch in the national army sequence, naturally became the best choices.

At this moment, Gan Lichu, who was ordered to defend Hengyang to the death, is already starting to build Hengyang's fortification system.

At the same time, the people of Hengyang, after the long-term anti-Japanese and national salvation struggle, united as one, united against the enemy, swore to defend Hengyang to the death, and actively participated in the defense of Hengyang together with the defenders.

The trade union also organized 3000 workers and requisitioned more than 120 million pieces of timber from 120 timber manufacturers in the urban area. They cooperated with the Sixth Army of the Kuomintang who was ordered to "defend Hengyang to the death" and built strong fortifications by using the rivers, hills, city walls and houses around Hengyang. .

Trenches and foxholes were dug in the streets of the city, and bunkers and machine gun bunkers were built.Barbed wire, etc., constitute a solid defense system.

In general, the Chinese Expeditionary Force with more than 30 U.S. weapons and equipment arrived in Hunan in time, which not only greatly enhanced the military strength of the Ninth Theater, but also greatly inspired the hearts of the Hunan army and the people. An unprecedented wave of anti-Japanese war is brewing and fermentation.

Chapter 1413 Expansion of Ambition

On the evening of February 2, in Yueyang City, the Japanese 1th Army advanced to the combat headquarters.

"Changsha! Changsha! Changsha!"

Ananwei stood in front of the huge battle map with his hands behind his back, his eyes were shining red, he stared at the place marked with the word Changsha, and kept chanting.

A few months ago, the Zaoyuan Detachment of the 11th Army had invaded Changsha City, but due to various reasons, Anan had to end the battle as soon as possible and take the initiative to retreat, so that the success fell short.

The regret left by the last battle has always made Ananwei a little bitter, and it is still a kind of dull pain and aggrieved that cannot be vented.

This time, Changsha City must be occupied no matter what!

However, this idea is only Anan Weiji's obsession. Not many of the division heads below know what Anan Weiji thinks in his heart and his real combat intention.

Then, when Ananwei moved his eyes to the canine-toothed battle marks on the north bank of the Miluo River on the map, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

Anan's only mood is like the setting sun that is gradually sliding towards the horizon at this moment, so dim and powerless, sinking a little bit.

In this battle of Changsha, the No.11 Army had 12 Kwantung Army divisions to help. Originally, Anan Weiji thought that this would be an extremely relaxed and enjoyable battle. conquered Changsha.

But everything didn't go as smoothly as imagined, on the contrary, it made me burnt out.

The troops in Western Hubei and Northwestern Hubei were relatively empty. The Huaxia Huben Army and the Sixth Theater of the Sixth Theater seized the opportunity. A large area of ​​the Japanese-occupied area was recovered. The independent 19th Brigade and the 13th Division were completely wiped out. The defending troops were destroyed in the siege battle.

There has been extremely serious collapse in this large area, which has already caused great dissatisfaction in the base camp. This is also the most troublesome thing for Anan Weiji now.

On the Xiangbei battlefield, Anan Weiji was also extremely dissatisfied.

On the Xinqianghe line, the No. 11 Army was abruptly blocked by the 27th Army for nine days and nine nights. Although it caused extremely serious damage to the 27th Army, the time cost was too much.

Now the Miluo River defense line has encountered extremely tenacious resistance. After two days of fierce fighting, there was no way to break through the Miluo River defense line of the 37th Army and the 99th Army.

"Anan-kun, good news!"

Just when Ananwei felt a headache for the difficult battle situation and slow progress, the chief of staff, Kinoshita Yong rushed over and said: "The 3rd Division and the 4th Division have already defeated the Miluo of the 37th Army and the 99th Army of the Chinese Army. The Jiang defense line stood firm on the north bank of the Miluo River.

The 101st Division, 106th Division, Fujita Detachment and other second-line corps also broke through the Jiangbei defense line of the 78th Army's defense line from the Pingjiang line to the north bank of the Miluo River, and are continuing to advance south. "

"well!"

Hearing this, Ananwei instantly regained his energy and his eyes lit up.

However, he was handsome for less than three seconds, and Kinoshita's next words made him frown again: "However, the 37th Army and 99th Army of Huaxia did not completely retreat, but instead formed an anti-horoscope defensive formation.

In addition, according to aerial reconnaissance, the Huaxia people are doing their best to destroy the road from the Miluo River to the Laodao River, and at the same time they are doing their best to strengthen the defense system of Changsha City! "

"Resist one by one to buy time, buy time to destroy traffic, and then achieve the goal of exhausting our army, and finally fight in the Changsha area! Only use such old routines, what a bunch of stupid pigs!"
